Courtney: The diet can be effectively ‘scaled’ depending on intitial body fat percentage. Mainly it has to do with variations in protein intake.

WGM: In general, it’s thought that women should not diet extremely during breastfeeding as there is the potential for this to compromise milk production. So I think it’s a bad idea.

Does your rapid fat loss routine also work with people in the ~17-19% body fat range? In other words, would you mainly recommend it for people who have much more fat mass to lose?

I am very athletic and have been on a figure competition training program for 8 weeks. Wondering if this would provide different/greater effects?

thank you,

courtney

A shot in the dark really, but how about for breastfeeding moms? Everything I read is how any fast weight loss releases toxins from your fat into your milk and how lack of calories can reduce milk supply. I refuse to quit nursing in order to lose weight, but am understandably sick of carrying around this extra 25 lbs that won’t budge since I left the hospital with my baby. Your thoughts? P.S. 170lbs, 5’3″, I’ve cut calories to 1800/day (to accommodate the larger calorie needs of 500/day while nursing) but did not lose anything. Added exercise and gained a couple of lbs. I eat healthfully, it’s just that nursing increases appetite, so I do my best to just eat lots of veggies and fruits.

Hi Lyle,

I am interested in this program. I quit playing college rugby and BJJ the junior year of college and thenn over my senior year I gained 40 pounds of fat (155->195 pounds). I am 22 years old, Male, 5’7, and 195 pounds. Is this diet OK for me if my goal is rapid fat loss (I would like to lose 30-40 pounds of body fat) and then maintenance? I am concerned that my metabolism may tank on low calories and I might not get results. Want to say that I am not doing BJJ/Rugby anymore – my sole focus is fat loss.

Thanks for your time,
AKD

Hey Lyle,
I’m a 23 year old fatty and want to shred it quickly as possible so then I can get ripped. I have no doubt when I do hit the gym I will be stacked but I’d much rather be slim and buff. Would you recommend this diet with Cardio and some weight lifting? I was looking at the mag 10 pulse fast but this seems to be the cheapest option and you have a look of good feedback.

Dominic: Yes, some have used it to get that lean. The diet is set up based on starting body fat percentage, as is how long a person can or should stay on it, to take this into account. So leaner people get a slightly different setup (since they have different issues to contend with) than individuals carrying more body fat.

Lyle, just wondering if the rapid fat loss handbook can be used to get to single digit body fat levels. For example would it be possible to use the diet to go from 15% body fat to 8-9% body fat. Regards Dom

I’ve been on every diet there is. I’m sure you’ve heard this before. I had been very thin most of my life until 2006, I was dx with CKD stage 2/3, with enlarged adrenal glands(tumors on each). I do not have much of an appetite, and what I do eat is usually healthy, but since 2006, I have slowly gained 50 pounds, but no dr. thinks I’m overweight. (I am a 52 year old Caucasian female at 5’8″. I exercise 3 times a week for about 2 hours, and have tried to eat more calories, but the scale doesn’t budge. One HUGE problem I have is fatigue, I could literally sleep all day, so unlike my old self before the dx. I have to push myself to just get out of bed. I would love some “insight” from someone…I feel just awful, aches and pains, tired of being sick and tired! I have no diet restrictions, but have been on beta blockers since my teens (have had genetic high blood pressure most of my life, weight had nothing to do with it, I always stayed between 130 and 135 pounds up until 2006.) So, the only thing I watch really is salt content. I would love some help, since the doc’s aren’t giving me any. Can you recommend one of your books for me? Even though I have CKD, I have been to 2 different nephrologists and they have never spoke about watching protein. I did do the Atkins diet about 5 years ago and was in ketosis, but gained 8 pounds in the 2 week period jump start. I don’t eat much fat, actually don’t eat much at all (maybe 500-800 calories daily) And when I raise the calories I gain overnight which “scares” me back to not eating. Hope you can help, if you have any questions, please ask.Thanks so much, I’m at the point of doing anything to get the scale moving.

Hi Lyle.

Im currently on Atkins. Will it be a problem switching over to RFL for 12 weeks to accelerate my fat loss then converting back to Atkins?
